The Animation School Color Theory

Drawing the Color Line by Howard Zinn the second chapter from A People’s history of the United States. The authors writes this chapter to explain racism and how it started, “a continent were we can trace the coming of the first whites and the first blacks-might supply at least a few clues” he wants to use history to try to explain why it started. In this chapter Howard Zinn gives us an insight on Slavery and racism in the early 17th century of America. This chapter does not only tell us why slavery accrued but how it happened. The author Howard Zinn tells us how the Americans were simple prone to having slaves because of the circumstances they faced in the early 17th century. It was a period of starvation Howard

We can observe the selection of blue color symbolizing melancholy in these scenes. Also, during the film, another color scene, this time yellow, can be seen, reflecting madness, insecurity, and obsessive by these scenes in the jury and streets. The catastrophic events, scenography and audio incremented the tension of every scene and complemented the facial expressions in the characters, creating a circle of the dramatic tension in the movie.

Component 2: drama responding required to choose a video clip and discuss the three dramatic elements that appeared in that video. Dramatic elements are the techniques to design the dramatic presentation, atmosphere, verbal or non-verbal interactions, mood and emotion to grab the attention of audiences (Dinham, 2017; ACARA, 2017). I have selected to view the video clip "The Secret Garden: There's someone crying" (Movieclips, 2012). After observing, analysing and evaluating the video clip critically, I have decided to explore the characters, voice and movement.

Colors are apart of our everyday lives. They help us on dreaming, creating and increasing youthfulness. The author used colors to illustrate an importance behind objects, emotions, and characters. The various colors symbolize location, character traits and appearances.

As we all know, color is the voice for the artist 's sentiment. It makes up the appearance of a picture. Color is the decisive factor in depths of the two-dimensional plane of the artwork, making the viewer feel physically and mentally attracted, or the context of things - the phenomenon the author wants to present. Colors have been around for a long time, but there is not a common definition for colors. And perhaps humans are one of the luckiest creatures that can identify colors. Often, the recipient 's eye knows a myriad of colors and colors that always change based on the relationship between light and perspective. In art, color creates a sense of

Everything expresses in grey, black, and white only. Their black and white world is so innocent. They limit people to express themselves. They limit the human potential palette of color. When the story begin to tell in Pleasantville. Everything is in black and white. It is that moment when people live their life day by day without knowing who they really are. They live without knowing how real life are like. They are so emotionless. As the story goes on, by the stubbornness of Marry Sue to live like the others, she introduces new stuff like sexuality, love, and many more things. Although Bud may seem disagree to deny the tradition of Pleasantville, he realize that he cannot resist people to show their true color. He, therefore, introduce whole lots of interesting stuff of the outside world like art, book, life, etc. Thing gradually change into color. Starting with rose, car, people, building, and so on. People, then, have a chance to show their true

There are many values within this print, but only constitute a handful of colors: Blue, brown, black, white, and gray. Blue is the main color within this print, there are many values of the color blue used. The deepest part of the waves are the darkest blue, while the parts of the waves closest to the surface are lightest blue or white. The sky has a gradient, which is going from the lightest color to the darkest color or vice versa; the sky is creating a gradient, from the bottom up, of black to a very light gray, then to a white-yellow. The colors chosen by Hokusai can also interpret feelings and emotions. The habitual feeling when seeing the color blue is sadness. Sadness and despair would be fitting emotions for this work, due to the giant wave about to crash upon the men in their boats. Blue can also emit a feeling of elegance. The composition of the print and how the lines of the wave flow can be considered a form of elegance.

The small child with eyes full of tears and a broken frowned pulls emotion into the picture. His body tighten as if he is uncomfortable. You see that he is scared, which makes the viewers feel sympathy for the boy. The hand of words tightened around the child's throat inflicting a sense of angry towards the words and hands, but we feel to be vigilant of the boy. A light gray background color symbolizing a dull and sad tone with the focus point around the boy referring to that’s what the viewers should be targeted.

For example, color imagery is used to describe the character Belle Carpenter in the story “An Awakening”. Not only is she explained as having dark skin, but her thoughts are also black. Anderson is implying that Belle has lost her innocence, and this idea is reflected when Belle uses George to “make [Ed Handby] suffer” (Anderson 186). She does not care about George and is simply using the boy to get what she wants, her lover, Ed Handby. She is also repeatedly described as a woman throughout the story, suggesting that she is mature. With maturity comes a loss of innocence, which is reflected in the description of Belle. Through Anderson’s portrayal of the woman, the reader gains a better understanding of who she is as a character, and what her intentions may be throughout the entire story. Dark and light symbolism is important because the reader learns more about the characters and their hidden thoughts, identities, and intentions based on the colors Anderson uses to describe them.

In this paragraph I'm going to be talking about how Frank Romero might feel about our city's car culture and also about the mood of the painting. Frank might love his car a lot because that's what his painting symbolizes and his painting means a lot to him but not only to him , maybe it also means a lot to other people. The mood in this pictures feels like he was very happy because of the hearts and of the colors. The bright colors shows a lot because most likely bright colors symbolizes happiness. Also it seemed like he loved his painting and i say this because when he saw that they covered his painting he got upset.

Colour symbolism is used very efficiently in this movie, the colours itself tells a story and portrays a certain character's persona. The colour white in the movie was mainly associated with Daisy, in the movie daisy is always seen in white clothing, white represents pure beauty, purity, positivity and innocence. In one scene where Nick is going over to his cousins Daisy’s house for dinner he walks into a room where she had been, Daisy was wearing a white dress, wind was blowing from her white windows into her white curtains, and a clear chandelier right above her this portrayed daisy as an innocent naive, pure woman. White also symbolises emptiness, ruthlessness and selfishness, this had been linked to Daisy very well as under her purity and innocence she is a superficial, hollow, cold and selfish hearted person.

Already the DVD covers point to a certain salience of red in American Beauty, blue in Shame, and white in Revolutionary Road; however, the films do not only conform in an equally striking importance of the use of colours, they also share similarities in meaning communicated by them. Since the semiotics of colour still depends on personal perception to a certain extent, this analysis indeed considers other critics’ opinions but is largely based on my personal receptions of the film and associations the use of colour has evoked in me. The focus of my observations is primarily set on how the shades of red, blue, and white as well as the general antithesis of warm and cold colours reflect Lester’s, Frank’s, and Brandon’s state of mind and their surroundings. Furthermore, lighting and the contrast of bright and dark are addressed and exemplified through incorporated screenshots of the films. Another outstanding aspect of effectively tying in form with meaning in all three films is their respective soundtrack; however, an in-depth analysis of the use of sound and music would go beyond the scope of this thesis and can thus be considered an interesting approach for addressings

, once acquired comes with the consequence of being objectified under the red light to the master’s male gaze. Hence referring back to Kong who mentions the power these women gain is ironic. Their victory is the attention of the master’s affection for one night. This further emphasizes the lack of power and importance women have under the Confucian ideologies. Perhaps the red tones

Tim burton is very good at using color to establish a mood. As seen in many of his hit movies, color is a large part. Tim burton uses certain cinematic techniques such as color symbolism. For example, in “Alice in Wonderland”, you can see that Tim burton purposefully makes queen Iracebeth’s castle dark and red to show that she is angry or even dangerous while Tim Burton makes Mirana of Marmoreal’s castle white to show tranquil and goodness. Even the small things matter to Tim Burton. All colors are specially chosen because it would change the whole movie if he changed a white castle to a black castle. This technique can also be found in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” in the scene when they are riding on the boat down the chocolate river.

What remains the significance of color in art? Could it be the disposition and feelings it provokes to the viewer, the distinguishing factor in the meaning of a piece? Maybe color is used in the association of simply shadow work, used only in technical terms to create value and the curvature of a three dimensional illusion? Or maybe the use of color in artwork appears as simple as how one learned the use in childhood, gender identification: blue means male and pink means female. True, artists select colors to produce a certain mood or atmosphere; to create space, light, and shadow, however, in regards to the artist Cindy Sherman, color is used profoundly in gender roles and symbolism. Representation and hidden meanings found within artwork is not a new concept by far, artist have been using such method for centuries. Nonetheless, the unique and slightly nightmarish way the contemporary artist Cindy Sherman uses color in representational ways brings about a new light to a familiar technique. Cindy Sherman, an American artist born in 1954, is extensively acknowledged as one of the most prominent artist in contemporary art. During her career, Sherman has extensively used the infinite surplus of images from movies and television, the internet, magazines, as well as art history, to create a massive collection of confrontational artwork. In many of her pieces she has discovered the manufacture of contemporary identity as well as the significance of representation, especially in
